Luggage Review: Kriega US-20 tailpack

Richard Newland, 13 May 2013 08:54

Kriega US-20 tailpack, £75 Tester: Richard Newland Time/miles: Five years/20,000 miles What’s good? I have a real soft spot for Kriega’s unapologetic, but quietly understated, excellence. I’ve used its R35 and R30 rucksacks over the last six years, and have had this US-20 pack for more than five. The roll-top closure makes a perfect waterproof seal, and the waterproof inner ...

Accessory Review: Tucano Urbano Nano Shoe Covers

Steve Farrell, 13 May 2013 08:52

Tucano Urbano Nano Shoe Covers, £33.99 Tester: Steve Farrell Time/miles: 2000 miles/18 months What’s good? These really do make old boots waterproof again. They fold up into a zip bag not much bigger than a fat wallet, which is why they have ‘Nano’ in the name. They’re no less waterproof for it. I’ve never known them to let in a ...

Accessory Review: Granger’s G-Max Universal Footwear Proofer

Steve Farrell, 13 May 2013 08:49

Granger’s G-Max Universal Footwear Proofer, £5.99 Tester: Steve Farrell Time/miles: One month/1000 miles What’s good? The trouble with waterproof attire is that, sooner or later, it stops being waterproof. No one wants to chuck a costly pair of boots. In theory, this spray saves you that pain. Spray it onto damp, clean leather, and ‘maximum waterproofing’ will be restored. Also ...

Book Review: That Near-Death Thing, by Rick Broadbent

Phil West, 13 May 2013 08:44

That Near-Death Thing, by Rick Broadbent, £16.99 Tester: Phil West What’s good? The most compelling book about the TT I’ve yet come across. Written by Times sports writer Rick Broadbent, it paints a vivid picture of the highs and lows of the 2011 TT through the first-hand accounts of Guy Martin, John McGuinness, Conor Cummins and Michael Dunlop. Broadbent’s success ...

Chain lube review: sDoc100 White Chain Spray

Richard Newland, 02 May 2013 16:54

sDoc100 White Chain Spray 75ml, £4.99Time tested: 20,000 miles/12 months What’s good: Chain sprays either work, or they don’t. Actually, there is a third common option, where they sort of do work, but they also drive you mad. This sDoc100 stuff simply falls into the ‘works’ category. There’s a conspicuous lack of fling, leaving your chain coated in a rust-and-grime-repelling ...

Accessory review: Visorcat wash & wipe

Andy Downes, 02 May 2013 16:48

Visorcat wash/wipe, £30 (£3.60 for subsequent 50ml fluid refills)Time tested: 550 miles/two weeks What’s good: This integrated sponge and squeegee with fluid reservoir works with a wipe-and-clean action and attaches to your left hand over a glove. I ride all year round so the idea of the Visorcat intrigued me as I have been more than happy with a damp ...

Product review: Hein Gericke Visor Finger Wipes

Mark Holmes, 06 December 2012 16:06

Hein Gericke Visor Finger Wipes, £3.99Miles covered/time: 2000 miles/two months       What’s good? Before I answer that question, let me ask you another one: what’s the biggest benefit to safety when you’re riding a motorbike? No, it’s not ABS, traction control or any other trendy electronic gimmick. It’s visibility. Simply being able to see where you’re going. And to that end, ...

Product review: Cold Killers socks

Kayleigh Nicolaou, 05 December 2012 16:00

Cold Killers Socks, £19.99
Miles covered/time: 1500 miles/two months 

 What’s good: They’re great for protecting your feet from the elements if you’re riding in summer boots. Being windproof they minimize the wind chill so you can concentrate on riding and not trying to get the feeling back in your toes. What’s not: In all honesty I haven’t been won over ...

Product review: Proguard Fleximonitors custom earphones

Michael Neeves, 26 November 2012 11:31

Proguard Fleximonitors custom earphones, £219.00Time used: One year What’s good: This is my second review of these custom moulded in-ear headphones and I’m even more impressed with them a year on. They’re made from rubbery plastic using a mould taken from your ear. They do two things: block out as much noise as a normal foam earplug and let you ...

Product review: Airhawk 2 inflatable saddle

Andy Downes, 26 November 2012 11:21

Airhawk 2 inflatable saddle, £159Miles covered/time: 1200/three days What’s good: I used an Airhawk saddle for the first time earlier this year when I did a trip around the UK on a Triumph Explorer 1200 which saw me covering more than 1200 miles in three days. I knew it was a long trip and I had been warned the Triumph ...
